you can't win everything, Astralis has made counter strike in a another level, even Simple says Astrilis is the best team in the world ,,, and he has learned a lot from them ,,, if you play counter strike yourself and can not see that they specialty ,, then you will never be good at counter strike,., MAJOR 4

he said it when Astralis played with their era.
sad but their era ended 6-9 months ago and they start to struggle even vs teams like Vitality/Fnatic
losing vs NaVi 3 times in a row in Bo3(at their era they never lost to navi)
Majors is good example how astralis was good at their era. but their era ended and s1mple only at 22 yo. we will see in next 8 years he will win atleast 10 majors in cs:go

Im gonna see you after 10 years ,not joking ive saved this link lol ,i love s1mple too but how long do you think their team also would be in the same form ?astralis already lose their 2018 form and are so bad ,it would be very difficult for s1mple to win so many majors ,but i do hope he wins this year's major(if astralis doesnt)

Yeah, with three 2-0 victories they would go through i think (after it can depend on head to head because likely 2 other teams would go 3-2 and one 4-1) but the fact that three teams are 2-0 after 2 games and three are 0-2 makes it really likely for the three teams who are 2-0 to go through.
Astralis should start rooting for OG against Fnatic, (because the other game for 2-0 teams is Mouz vs NaVi which will make already one team 3-0) to keep Fnatic at range (2-1) especially now that we know that Astralis lost to Fnatic and would be behind them in case of equality at the end of the group stage.
Astralis don't want Fnatic and someone from the Mouz vs NaVi game to be 3-0, especially that they already lost to Fnatic AND NaVi.
Mouz winning vs NaVi would be better for Astralis because Astralis could still beat Mouz and have the advantage over them in case both teams are ex aequo.

I didn't make full calculations because we don't have enough infos yet, obviously (3 games left to be played for each team) but we will know more tonight after knowing who is 3-0 between Mouz and NaVi, if Fnatic is 3-0 as well or if OG kept them at 2-1 only etc
Good thing is Astralis lost both times 1-2, not 0-2, so yeah if they go 6-0 (2-0 three times) now i would believe they would be at least 3rd, don't think it's possible we get Mouz NaVi and fnatic all in 4-1 at the end (would need to study every match up to happen and every who happened already to see if it's possible) but yeah it's possible Mouz beat NaVi for example, but Mouz would lose to Fnatic and Fnatic would lose to NaVi and both of these 3 teams would go 1-1 against each other (against the other teams that are currently 2-0 up)

I made a mistake i think.
I think NaVi winning vs Mouz would be better for Astralis because that would keep Mouz at 2-1 and Astralis would still have to play against Mouz and the chance to equalise with them and have the advantage after winning the head to head.
NaVi already beat Astralis and are 2-0 up so it's pretty much certain that NaVi will be ranked above Astralis at the end of this group stage.
So i guess better results for Ast today would be OG beating Fnatic, and NaVi beating Mouz

[FAZE CLAN +1.5 Maps -200 2U LOCKED]
This iteration of Faze is no joke, I consider them top 5 right now, and they could easily contend for the top 3 in the world soon. Today they face the legendary Astralis, who have been struggling lately. Despite their recent results, I still cannot completely bet against 4 majors here. Broky as an awper is the only person on Faze I have serious doubts about, and going up against Device on the other side won't help that situation. Regardless, the other 4 of Faze definitely have proven they have what it takes to swing against the best.
What I can get behind here is a red hot Faze to take at least one map, with odds that honestly aren't that bad. Looking to run back our -305 hit on Navi yesterday with another big juice play here. Faze are 5-0 L5 matches in taking at least one map... E Z LFG!
#NikozeraUp 2 - 1 Astralis

The iteration of FaZe teams are a joke. A team of superstars which are full of inconsistent veterans, an new talent and a failing IGL. The only chances of FaZe winning in a game against Astralis is if they have a good day NiKo making actual good calls. For a person who actually sounded smart, that was a really bad take on how the match would go.

dude give me a break. astralis are still the better team and this odds doesnt make sense when astralis still have the lead.
the other day faze lost nuke to g2, while leading 14-10 on CT side, into 14-16

don't know about the word deserve. A team only deserves to lose if their teamplay and skills are completely worse, like a silver level. This game is meant to be Skill vs Brain but I don't think the "skill" is happening for FaZe... so really FaZe deserves to lose since they are awful

Coldzera in an interview talked about a lot of things, specially about Astralis, saying they used to hang all together and bla bla, one night coldzera spoke to device saying he wont talk to him ever again and allegdly device cried, device denied that, i guess thats why he went full toxic
I might be wrong

That's actually how it went. As coldzera kept growing, his ego grew as well. He started talking shit and lying like... I forgot about ShowTime but He talked about how Stewie2k begged him to stay in SK and how dev1ce cried for... coldzera approaching him apparently. That's why Not many players have much of a good relationship with Coldzera. Even Fallen and dev1ce are still great

they lost to 7/7 times to top5 teams and won 2-0 vs every below top5 team since their long bootcamp I think
basically they outaim and abuse duels vs noobs and when playing vs good aimers w/ structure they cant do shit cuz no real igl

Yeah rain isn't the worst but I'd keep broky over him at this point because he has potential just need experience and to develop.
He is far from having reached his peak.
rain on the other hand had a very average year ( to say the least ) it's been better lately but he needs to get his sh*t together

U left broky there. Rain is fine, broky is losing them games just like he did with nuke (ovp too but there everyone sucked). They could win ot if that guy had brain. For example- they smoked outside, whole team went lower but he didn't fit in smokes duration crossing and died from awp WITH BOMB. Next rouds he threw in similar fashion.

Broky came from nowhere to tier 1 team and he has positive ratings, sure he does mistakes but he Will learn from it, idk whats your problem
Olof is losing Every aim duel
Rain and cold are kinda inconsistent RN If u watch their games

ggwp unlucky FaZe
Pls do something with Olof even tho i love his positivity but this is just not acceptable... he is throwing so many rounds and that is sad. Always will respect him in Fnatic but now its just sad.
#FaZeUp

FaZe really let their chance go to seize huNter and nexa...
Should have been this : cold joins as last, kick guardian and olof, hire nexa and huNter and put NiKo as you main sniper s1mple/ZywOo/device style
